Logging Activities - am i double dipping?

Hi.  When I do a spin class, obviously my heartrate is being monitored by my fitbit.  Do i just rely on those "calories burned" or do i also log that i did a spin class, the duration, & mileage on the fit bit app and take those calories in to account also?  Just don't want to credit myself more than i deserve.

Which tracker are you using?  The Charge 2 has a "Spinning" exercise.  You could just start/stop the activity on your fitbit and then not manually log it.

 

Related:  You will not double dip, the manually entered activity will override any data that was tracked.

You do not log things twice. You are double dipping. Use one way or the other.

what is the activity that it captures for you now? You can edit that activity and call it spin, but I wouldn't add another one.

I have the charge HR.  So when i do an interval or spin class, the fitbit logs calories burned.  so i'm assuming i just rely on whatever my fitbit says for those exercises?  my concern was the days i do weight training - since your heart rate isn't up like when you do cardio, should i log on the fitbit app that i did weight training and the duration?  in order to receive "credit" for that day?
